46 Million Aborted
Good news last week that the number of abortions performed in the U.S. has dropped (as of 2005) to 1.2 million per year, the lowest number since 1976.
Still, that's over a million aborted babies in this nation every year — and many more around the world. And it's tough to celebrate with too much enthusiasm when we realize that 46,000,000 pre-born infants have been killed since abortion was legalized in the U.S. in 1973.
Can't picture that number? Me neither. Here's a page meant to help us get some kind of visual clue to just how many people we're talking about. (HT: Between Two Worlds)
Praise God for His justice. Praise God for His mercy. May God bring an end to the carnage and all people to repentance.

I wouldn't hold out too much hope for God bringing an end to abortion. Contraceptives have a far better chance.
Of the 1.11 million abortions carried out in the US last year - about half of the women didn't use contraceptives - 8% had never used any.
Of the other 50%, about 5 in 6 of them didn't use contraceptives correctly or consistently.
What that means is that the consistent and correct use of condoms, or the contraceptive pill, would bring abortion figures in the USA crashing down to 83,000 per year - down to 8% of the total today.
Sadly, abstinence-only education programmes do not teach about the correct and consistent usage of contraception. Nor are they effective at preventing teens from having sex, or having it early. So expect worse news on the abortion front in the next 5 - 10 years.
